Brief Summary
This open-label, single arm, multicenter study evaluated the resection rate in participants with colorectal cancer and previously untreated unresectable liver-only metastases after adding bevacizumab to 5-FU based doublet chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting. Participants receive standard 5-FU based chemotherapy plus Avastin bevacizumab 5 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) every 2 weeks for a maximum of 12 cycles combined pre- and postoperatively, unless they experienced progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Complete Resection (R0 Resection)
R0 resection was defined as complete resection confirmed by pathology after pre-operative chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. Participants with R0 resections based on assessments performed at time of surgery, 48 hours post-surgery and 4 and 12 weeks after surgery were reported.
At time of surgery (up to 28 weeks), 48 hours post-surgery and 4 and 12 weeks after surgery (up to 40 weeks)
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Incomplete Tumor Resection (R1 Resection)
At time of surgery (up to 28 weeks), 48 hours post-surgery and 4 and 12 weeks after surgery (up to 40 weeks)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Objective Response
Screening until disease progression or death until data cutoff on 12 May 2016 (up to approximately 3.5 years overall)
Number of Participants With Disease Progression or Relapse or Death
Screening until disease progression or death until data cutoff on 12 May 2016 (up to approximately 3.5 years overall)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Screening until disease progression or death until data cutoff on 12 May 2016 (up to approximately 3.5 years overall)
Percent Probability (PP) of Being Alive and Progression Free at Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18
Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18
- +3 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (1)
Bevacizumab
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
Standard 5-FU based doublet chemotherapy. Protocol did not specify any particular chemotherapy regimen. The choice of 5-FU based doublet chemotherapy was as per standard of practice and the dosage of 5-FU based doublet chemotherapy was as per product labels.
5 mg/kg every 2 weeks, up to 12 cycles pre- and postoperatively
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adult Chinese participants, 18-75 years of age
- Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma in colon or rectum with primary lesion surgically removed
- Previously untreated unresectable liver-only metastases
- Liver lesions determined to be unresectable by multidisciplinary team (MDT, consisting of experienced hepatic surgeons, medical oncologist and radiologist).
- No previous treatment against liver metastases, including chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, Transarterial chemoembolisation therapy (TACE) and target therapy
- Adequate hematological, renal and hepatic function
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1
- Life expectancy greater than (\>) 3 months
You may not qualify if:
- The relapse has occurred within 6 months of completion of the adjuvant treatment
- Expected impossible to achieve complete resection (R0 resection) and/or gain 30% residual liver volume even with responsive neoadjuvant therapy
- Participant cannot tolerate the surgery
- Other malignancies in the past 5 years, except for curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin and/or in situ carcinoma of the cervix
- Any extrahepatic metastases and/or recurrence of the primary tumor
- Any residual toxicity from previous chemotherapy (except alopecia) of National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC) v.4.0 grade 2
- Hypertension crisis or encephalopathy
- Pregnant or lactating women
- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease
- Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
- Current or recent (within 10 days of study drug initiation) use of full dose of aspirin, clopidrogel or warfarin
- History or evidence of Central Nervous System (CNS) disease (for example, primary brain tumor, seizures not controlled with standard medical therapy, any brain metastases, or history of stroke)
